Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Georgia, 1997.

The mid-1940s was a climactic time in the history of Sino-American relations. During this period, an unprecedented number of Americans, mostly soldiers, were in China mingling with the Chinese. The timing was bad. The China that they met was first in the abyss of war, then in the midst of postwar chaos. The Chinese whom they encountered were among the worst--the soldiers, the officers, the bureaucrats, the racketeers, the thieves, the beggars, the prostitutes and the scavengers. Against the backdrops of the time, the meeting of the two cultures became traumatic. In the ill-starred intercourse, intimacy only led to disappointment and revulsion.

520 $a The mid-1940s was a climactic time in the history of Sino-American relations. During this period, an unprecedented number of Americans, mostly soldiers, were in China mingling with the Chinese. The timing was bad. The China that they met was first in the abyss of war, then in the midst of postwar chaos. The Chinese whom they encountered were among the worst--the soldiers, the officers, the bureaucrats, the racketeers, the thieves, the beggars, the prostitutes and the scavengers. Against the backdrops of the time, the meeting of the two cultures became traumatic. In the ill-starred intercourse, intimacy only led to disappointment and revulsion.
520 $a China could be different things to different Americans. To the China Hands, it was the moorings of their lifetime journey, a land worth fighting for and a story of which they were part. To Albert Wedemeyer, the China Theater Commander, and Patrick Hurley, the Ambassador to China, it was a base to build up American power and a ground for a promising political career. To George Marshall, the Army Chief of Staff and then the Presidential Envoy to China, it was a backwater in U.S. global strategy, an irritating source of international tensions, yet a country toward whose people he retained great respect and sympathy.
520 $a The scenarios unfold the interaction of the Americans and Chinese in the struggles between peace and war, democracy and tyranny, life and decay. They highlight not the abstractions of policymaking, but the feelings that the Americans in China experienced with their five senses. The stories are told not only from an American point of view; they are seen through the eyes of all the protagonists--the Americans, the Chinese Communists, the Chinese Nationalists and the Chinese people. With insights from both historians and contemporaries, the dissertation lightens certain obscure spots in Sino-American relations in the mid-1940s.
